    Kirblinx vs Aston: Non-White Penny Pincer Grid Draft

    I attempted a sort of artifact deck with Trading Post and Darksteel Juggernaut as the pay-offs. Trading Post was usually pretty good, but I found Darksteel Juggernaut a bit underwhelming with my artifact count and sideboarded it out most games, bringing in some combination of Pestermite...

    If not Pyromancer's Goggles, what about Mirari, a less efficient way to do the same thing. It's colour agnostic though!

    The storage lands are kind of sweet, has anyone tried those? Or Mage-Ring Network? Possibly as part of ULD?

    I guess it depends on whether you're doubling Volcanic Hammers or Cruel Ultimatums as to whether the card is good.

    Guess the Magic Art!

    Argh, I was thinking "sledge" for some reason but couldn't think why. At least my description was accurate Edit: Number 6 looks so familiar, but I can't place it. Feels like a white enchantment of some sort, maybe Circle of Protection: Black

    Guess the Magic Art!

    1. is Bogardan Hammer (I think that's the name) (also I just checked and I was wrong on this one) 2. This looks like the new surge Bushwacker but I wouldn't have thought this was up on Gatherer yet 4. is Kor Hookmaster 5. I don't remember the name but I'm pretty sure its a 2/1 Forestwalk for 1G...

    General Decks that have 3-0'd your cube

    I don't think I'd ever touch White Weenie in constructed but I love it in cube for some reason. Some days all I want to do is put Spirit of the Labyrinth into play.

    General Draft Strategy

    I wouldn't be too happy to first pick either of those - Huntmaster because it's two colours, and Snapcaster because it needs a reasonably high density of spells to function. I could see taking Snapcaster out of a weak pack, since if it does work it is very powerful, but I'd try and first pick...

    General [ Riptide Weekly] Saturday 30 Jan @ 2PM EST Registration

    I'd like to get in on this but I'll probably be pre-releasing on Saturday, and the one I go to usually starts late in the day so I might not be back in time. Can you put me down provisionally and I'll post in the thread on the day as to whether I'm going to make it or not?

    Card/Deck Counterspells

    Counterspell is kind of in a strange spot where it's almost worse to cast it on turn 2 because you would rather cast something like Mana Leak that is going to run out of utility later in the game. So I don't think the double blue requirement is all that bad at all - even if you don't cast it...

    Sets [OGW] Oath of the Gatewatch Spoiler Thread

    I kind of like the story being focused around the planeswalkers as it allows diverse worlds whilst still having a common thread of familiarity. The only thing that worries me is that standard from now on is going to be all about my planeswalkers facing down their planeswalkers in every match...

    General Sunday January 10th Draft Sign-ups (2PM EST)

    Strangely, looking through our decks it doesn't look like anyone apart from me was playing red, and for me it was just a splash. I think yan had some red in his 5cc deck too? I do remember seeing very late Lightning Bolt and Chain Lightning, which I thought was unusual.
